Introduction
Premature ejaculation (PE) is a sexual dysfunction characterized by the male ejaculating earlier than desired—specifically, within two minutes of vaginal penetration—before the female partner achieves orgasm, thereby resulting in sexual disharmony. Numerous factors can cause PE, including early ejaculation triggered by psychological stress or anxiety in men; such cases are considered normal physiological responses.

There are numerous causes of premature ejaculation. For instance, ejaculation may occur prematurely under conditions of high psychological stress or anxiety; this type of PE is considered a normal physiological response. Occasional episodes of such PE can typically be resolved through timely psychological adjustment and relaxation.
Habitual premature ejaculation generally refers to recurrent PE occurring regularly in adult males. These individuals usually have normal erectile function and firm penile erections; however, they often feel rushed or impatient during intercourse, eager to reach orgasm quickly—thereby triggering premature ejaculation. This pattern is most commonly observed among young and middle-aged men.
Additionally, pathological PE may be associated with factors such as excessive masturbation, phimosis, infrequent sexual activity, or prostatitis. Regardless of the underlying cause, individuals experiencing persistent or pathological PE should seek prompt medical evaluation and professional guidance.
